Marsh's Picks for Great Summer Series:

     If you have just read The Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins and are thirsty for another dystopian book, look no more.  The Divergent Series by Veronica Roth is just what you are looking for.  It has inspiring characters, great adventures, and much more.  You cannot stop reading these books once you start.  So, check them out today!

     This is the series that brought me into the world of reading.  The Percy Jackson and the Olympian Series by Rick Riordan.  It has compelling characters, details descriptions, and lots of humor.  I learned everything I know about Greek Mythology the fun way--  by reading this series.  If you haven't read these books then go buy or borrow them!

     Make sure you check back next week and see what books Emiline has FLIPPED for!

Marsh's MMGM pick for this week is The Red Pyramid (Kane Chronicles #1) by Rick Riordan!

     When I finished the Percy Jackson and the Olympians Series by Rick Riordan I was really devastated because I didn't have anything from Rick Riordan to read anymore, but then I found out that he was coming out with a new book called The Red Pyramid.  When I saw that the book was going to be about Egyptian Mythology I thought that it would be very interesting, because I learned a little about Egyptian Mythology by visiting museums and reading some non-fiction books.  The Kane Chronicles main characters are Sadie and Carter, who are brother and sister, who are having lots of adventures, but also have to overcome their sibling conflicts to save the world.  I really enjoyed the characters and plot in this book.  I have also read the second book in this series,  The Throne of Fire, and I am really excited for the third book, The Serpent's Shadow to come out in May.  And also remember that The Kane Chronicles: Survival Guide comes out on March 20th, if you're like me and can't wait for the next book!

Marvelous Middle-Grade Monday

     The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan is my MMGM pick this week.

     The Lightning Thief was the book that got me into reading.  My school librarian recommended this book to me and once I started reading it I loved it.  What really encouraged me to keep on reading was because it was based on Greek Mythology.  By the time I finished The Lightening Thief I knew the names of all the Greek Gods.

     The main character is a boy named Percy Jackson and he is a Demi-God.  He is going on a quest to save his mom.  I liked howPercy was so brave and overcame everything to get back his mom.  This book is one of my all time favorites and I am glad to have The Lightening Thief by Rick Riordan as my MMGM.

I was lucky enough to go to a signing for The Last Olympian.

And this is me at at signing for The Red Pyramid.

Rick Riordan is a fantastic writer. You should check out his site to find out more about his books!
